Baby Boy Beanie

"A cute hat for little baby boys! Instructions are included for stripes in two variations. This pattern is good for using some scraps, because the stripes don’t take a whole lot of yarn. Cotton or soft worsted weight yarn is recommended so that baby's head isn't subjected to scratchy yarn. Sizes are included for Newborn to 6-12 Months. Newborn size is recommended just for preemies and for brand-new babies (ei: going home from the hospital). The newborn size will not fit a healthy baby for very long!"
